During the Covid Pandemic, Valerie read even more than usual.  One of the authors whom she binged was Jungian analyst James Hollis, who tipped her entire psychological and theological paradigm…right-side-up…finally. 

She passed several books off to Nathan and together they reconfigured a spirituality that is the foundation of what you hear in some way, shape, or form in each episode of Latter Day Struggles. 

In this episode they discuss the colossal difference between LESS MATURE and MATURE spirituality.

Highlights:

1. Immature spirituality hands beliefs and life choices off to authority figures.  Mature spirituality takes personal ownership in one’s own beliefs and life choices
2. Immature spiritual builds walls.  Mature spirituality breaks down walls
3. Immature spirituality “pins down” truth and mandates proper worship, observance, and belief.  Mature spirituality knows that once the mystery of God and other mystical experience has been given a name, a form, a face, and a structure—its essence, beauty, and mystery often recedes, ceasing to connect us to the divine.
